Producer's spatial equilibrium with a fuzzy constraint
1980
The classical theory of the producer’s equilibrium rests on two sets of particularly restrictive hypotheses. First it is implicitely assumed that all inputs and outputs are located in a single place where the producer is also implanted and where the production is carried out. Next it is assumed that the producer follows a precise behaviour pattern, by this we mean that the producer has complete information concerning the conditions of hisproductive activity and he has perfect command over both the set of inputs and the set of outputs; he realises the maximum profit allowed by the technological constraint which limits his possible actions and by the given price system. The aim of this study …

Collective and Cooperative Behaviour Models
2016
International audience; In modelling residential choice we cannot escape the debate about the effect of societal context on an individual’s decision-making. This debate depends on whether we set more store by the aggregate scale of society or by the individual’s decision-making. An individual-centred approach will focus on the particularities of an individual and the way her past, for example, influences her decisions.
Muséo-parcs et réenchantement de l’expérience muséale : le cas de la Cité des Arts et des Sciences de Valencia
2010
The museum offer undergoes at present profound transformations. Beyond the traditional structures which do not any more hesitate to use innovative museographies and to slide in the sphere of the leisure activities, it seems to develop a new sector, halfway between museums and amusement parks called museopark. The aim of this article is to analyze an example of this hybrid offer, the City of Arts and Science in Valencia (Spain), fitting very well with the edutainment logic and to understand the structuring elements and the borrowings made in of the amusement parks. After the presentation of theoretical foundations underlying the definition of experiential museums, we expose our case study, b…

External effects of domestic regulations: comparing internal and international barriers to trade
2001
Abstract In a world in which barriers to trade at all levels—international and internal—are mostly a by-product of the implementation by governments of different regulatory policies to deal with “domestic” or “local” problems such as environmental degradation, health, and labor standards, the article purports to show how the mechanisms that are set in motion by the operation of competition among the governments inhabiting the different jurisdictional tiers of federal countries lead to outcomes that are different from those generated by the ‘agreed-upon’ rules that govern the relations of national governments with each other in matters of international trade.

2008
08001 - 20 p.; Document de travail de l'IREDU 2008-01; L'objectif principal de ce texte est de présenter des éléments factuels sur les résultats de l'école primaire française. Notre réflexion portera sur deux dimensions complémentaires, à savoir la qualité et l'efficience, celles-ci seront examinées dans une double perspective comparative (temporelle et spatiale). Dans une première partie, nous mobiliserons les données des enquêtes internationales pour apprécier les résultats des élèves français et leur évolution dans le temps sur ces 15 dernières années. La seconde partie sera consacrée aux coûts de l'enseignement primaire et plusieurs aspects seront abordés. Dans un premier temps, l'évolu…
